Performance, handling
Reliability, windscreen dirt
The Honda Accord 1.8 16V S saloon has an amazing engine - it seems to revel having the engine pushed. Very good handling for such a large car. Quality issues normally associated with Honda's seems to be falling behind! Quality of plastics very poor, build quality very poor. Tacky switches and other gadgets. The worst point about this car is driving in winter, on a busy road or motorway when a lorry is nearby... the dirty water washed from the windscreen is directed all over the drivers-side window. After 4 or 5 washes you cannot see out of the side window for overtaking manouveres! In my opinion its very dangerous! The gearbox also seemed to suffer from selection problems. Replacement of very worn clutch did not cure problem, the car had done 92K (in two years!) but nearly All motorway driving - ie no clutch use? very odd! All in all I think Honda's are over-rated.
